Rev. Susan SciarrattaLPC

Rev. Susan Sciarratta is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 12 years of counseling experience. She helps people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with parenting concerns, relationship tension, and postpartum depression.

Before counseling, she spent two decades as a professional engineer. That background shaped a practical, problem-solving approach to difficult feelings. Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and building everyday coping skills.

She pays attention to each person's unique situation and adapts sessions to fit their needs. Expect straightforward conversation that balances emotional support with concrete strategies. The aim is to help people feel more capable and make changes that matter in daily life.

Susan works with people on issues like compassion fatigue, caregiver stress, and challenges tied to aging or hospice and end-of-life concerns. She also addresses attachment difficulties, communication problems, fertility and family-related stress, and questions about life purpose.

Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical tools for building self-esteem, motivation, and confidence. She encourages thoughtful steps toward change and supports clients through transitions such as midlife shifts or coping after loss.

People who choose her can expect collaborative planning, straightforward feedback, and attention to both emotional healing and practical solutions.

Approaches that balance emotion and action

Many evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on noticing thoughts and changing behaviors. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different ways of responding to stress and anxiety. This can reduce overwhelm and make emotions easier to manage.

Another approach emphasizes building skills through small, practical steps. That includes setting achievable goals, practicing new coping strategies, and tracking progress. This method is useful for low motivation, confidence issues, and life transitions such as postpartum adjustment or caregiver stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. Plans are flexible and adjusted as progress is made.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions into a busy day and avoiding travel time, which helps people keep regular appointments. Since the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful for consistency and for keeping therapy manageable alongside parenting, work, or caregiving responsibilities.
